Fortnite Is Getting DLSS 3 Support This Fall
Nvidia announced that Fortnite is getting DLSS 3.
As part of its Gamescom 2023 announcements, Nvidia confirmed that Epic Games' widely popular free-to-play battle royale will get the third generation of DLSS. This is not the first time Nvidia has rolled out its DLSS tech onto Fortnite. In 2020, the company announced it would receive support for DLSS 2.
DLSS 3 was released alongside the GeForce RTX 4090 and 4080 graphics cards last year. DLSS 3 is an AI-powered performance multiplier that can increase frame rates for supported games by up to four times what was previously available. Unfortunately, DLSS 3 is exclusive to the RTX 40 series graphics cards, so RTX 20 and 30 owners won't be able to play Fortnite on DLSS 3.
Other games confirmed to get Nvidia DLSS 3 include Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, PayDay 3, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, and Alan Wake 2. The latter two, along with Portal RTX, are also getting DLSS 3.5, the latest version of Nvidia's tech that introduces a new feature called Ray Reconstruction, which Nvidia says will enhance the ray-traced image quality for RTX 40 series GPUs by replacing hand-tuned denoisers with an Nvidia supercomputer-trained AI networks to help craft higher-quality pixels.
